Kunstraum Backstube
is my gallery and at the same time my studio. This lively togetherness makes this place something special and unusual. Here you have the opportunity to watch me work live as well as view the current exhibition and buy works of art. Two to three times a year I open my doors for exhibitions in collaboration with other artists, for performances and happenings. My interests as a gallery owner lie in, on the one hand, introducing you to topics that affect me personally and, on the other hand, introducing special artistic personalities and their works of art.

History
In September 2020 I opened Kunstraum Backstube. The name of my gallery comes from the fact that baked goods were made and sold in these rooms for many decades. Many Eberstadt residents still remember that for the local fair or other occasions they brought their cakes on baking trays, which the baker first placed on stands in the yard and then gradually baked. In the past, bread was made here and today - in the present - works of art are created and sold. Both were and are creative, beautiful, challenging and nourishing processes. And these rooms have always been and still are a meeting place for people.

Desire – perfect world
Joint Exhibition
The longing for an ideal world moves people, especially in times of personal and social shocks and challenges. On September 15, 2023 at 7 p.m., the exhibition on the topic "Longing - ideal world" will open in the Kunstraum Backstube. As part of the vernissage, the artists introduce themselves to one another and take the audience into the creation of the individual works. Ulrike E Sticher will paint live and show part I of her performance "Desire - perfect world".
But what is the desire for a perfect world all about? Is the desire for a perfect world a phantom; just an idea that gives hope, combined with the desire to be able to experience it now and today? Is this desire something that drives people internally to search in order to find and is it perhaps a deep, never-satisfied need of people in the hunt for harmony and peace? What does a perfect world mean? What does it look like and where can we find it? Can we create one or will it remain just a sweet dream?

Diversity in a Square – Diversity in Togetherness
group exhibition
The "Artists Night" organized by "K im Fluss" has been taking place in the Orangery Darmstadt since 2014. The exhibition "Vielfalt im Quadrat – Vielfalt im Miteinander" (Diversity in a Square – Diversity in Togetherness) provides an insight into the highlights of previous events, into the joint creation of art and the solidarity between artists.
The artists involved come from Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg and Cyprus. The exhibition shows, on one hand, the diversity of the participants in their expression and level of development as artists and, on the other hand, how collaboration can be possible in this diversity and can lead to great results.

Ulrike E Sticher
Visual Artist, Gallery Owner, Curator
My pictures are created either at home in my studio or on a stage in front of an audience. Many of my pictures begin with an intuitive painterly dance with two brushes, over which I set colors delicately glazed or saturated and clear on top of each other and next to each other in the further course of painting. The content of my works is always an examination of life and being human, whether in private or socially relevant contexts. I see my pictures as a bearer of hope and encouragement, even when it comes to critical and questioning topics. As a visionary, I would like to use my art to help make the world a better place for togetherness and life.
My professional biography as well as a detailed discussion of my art is available on my website
